Ramadan : Manger en Cachette

Hello, my friends. I'm here to talk to you about Ramadan today. So I haven't grown since the last videos. Just the roof of the vehicle is slowly falling off, right? I didn't overturn the car. It's just falling off by itself. Ah, that's what happens when you're not sponsored by Qatar. Anyway, I'll tell you something. If one day I make a video from a Maserati, be very careful. It's because I've been bribed, because I'm touching the ponyograph. So if you see this, I'm being followed. I'd better warn you, just in case. So what's happening today? It's June 21, 2015. It's the summer solstice, which means it's the longest day of the year. The sun will reach the Tropic of Cancer today. So the world's religions, all the world's religions have always associated the satisfaction of biological needs with a decrease in the individual spirituality. Because they have always tried to divide needs into biological needs and spiritual needs needs or spiritual needs. And these two have always been in conflict according to the classical representation of religions. So in this sense, all the world's religions, Islam is no exception. All the world's religions have created practices based on deprivation. It can be sleep deprivation, food deprivation, water deprivation, or extreme physical efforts that must be made, in fact, always to go against or overcome the spiritual or spiritual part of the individual, if you will, manages to overcome, dominate and control the animal part of the person. There you have it. It's as simple as that. Muslims created Ramadan. So the problem is that we have to admit that during Ramadan, we do not see an increase in spirituality among Muslims, but rather a decrease in spirituality. This decrease is extremely measurable and quantifiable. Just look at the press from Arab Muslim countries. Every Ramadan, what do we see? We see an increase in food prices. The price of food goes through the roof. So there is inflation due to two things. Speculation on the one hand, and then the increase in demand on the other. You know, for example, I never go shopping when I am hungry. I always prefer to eat before going to the supermarket to do the weekly shopping. Why? Because I notice that every time I'm hungry and I go shopping, when I naturally, instinctively, without realizing it, I end up buying more than I need. And towards the end of the week, I end up throwing away products that have expired, that have passed their expiration date. Okay, so that's something automatic. So what happens is that we have this relationship there that is very much with the market, which is very ironic, because you know what they say. When I was little, I used to tell myself, yes, right. Ramadan is for. It's so that the Muslims feel the end and know how the poor suffer from the end. So I want to say something. If you want to know. If you want to know how the poor eat or don't eat, go to KFC or McDonald's instead. And then it will give you a better idea of the life of the poor today. Because today's poor people, it's not that they don't eat, but that what they do eat is disgusting. Well, that's the point. The fact remains that we've seen an increase in emergency room admissions. Why? Because there are more accidents, because there are more assaults, because there are more fights. And honestly, pick up a newspaper towards the end of Ramadan and you'll see the statistics, they speak for themselves. There's no such thing as that. That's not my opinion. That's reality. Reality speaks for itself. And unfortunately, reality is extremely stubborn. No matter how much we want it to be different, it is as it is. So what's happening? Why is it that in all religions, exercises based on deprivation, exercises that involve a dose of suffering, allow people to rise, while in Arab Muslim countries, of course, they descend? Well, the reason is very simple. The Islamic religion or Islamic society is the only society in the world and the only society in history to have promoted these practices based on deprivation to the level of a spectacle, a collective circus. Okay? The Tibetan monk who buries himself up to his neck for three days or who does not eat for seven days or whatever, he does it. He does it in a temple. He locks himself in there. He has a destiny. He has a spiritual path that is personal, that is intimate to accomplish, and he completely isolates himself from the world. Even if he is in the middle of the world, he does not need to lock himself in a temple. But even if he is in the middle of the world, he isolates himself in his spiritual practice. Muslims, you eat a sandwich in front of him, you eat in front of me. I am doing Ramadan. I feel shocked. Do you understand? So from the moment someone who is on an intimate, internal, personal path feels offended by the fact that others are not following the same intimate, personal path, it's because the guy is just a control freak, as they say. He's just someone who is sick of controlling others. That's all. I mean, in terms of spirituality. Zone Zero. So, secondly, what's happening today is that Muslims and Socialites are eating in secret. So as I speak, there are probably millions of people who are eating in secret from each other. I mean, people are eating. I'm sure there are even families where everyone is eating, but no one knows that the other person is eating in secret. You understand? It's a bit. It's a bit crazy. So in order to facilitate Ramadan, because Ramadan today is clearly in a trajectory of impact with modern society. Because when Ramadan first arrived, when Ramadan was created, there were no airplane pilots, there were no bus drivers, there were no truck drivers, there were no supermarket checkouts, there were no contracts as strict as we have now. There were no people driving vehicles that went at 120km per hour. There were no things like that. So modern society has created tasks, created obligations that will go against, if you will, the possibility of spending a month without eating or drinking and not staying in bed, like many people do in the Maghreb. So what happens is that in the Maghreb, it is very special. In the Maghreb, despair means many people are so desperate, desperate about life in a way, they don't see a way out. They live in a society that is very well aware of, that is extremely backward in many ways. And their only way to survive, if you like, is to say that life here is useless, okay? And real life, the real story begins when you die. And so that is an extremely dangerous, extremely vicious form of thinking. The person or society or group becomes apocalyptic. And these are people who start to be more interested in death and what comes after death. You know, so talking about sexuality after death, food after death, green land after death, happiness after death. But in fact, before. Before, before, before death. I mean, during life, there is nothing, okay? That is extremely dangerous. I think this twist deserves one or more videos all by itself. So I'll give you an example for today. Slow down, slow down. During Ramadan, so, June 21st, Sunday, Muslims must stop eating at 2:21 in the morning. And then they can eat and drink at 10.44pm so practically at 11pm there are days when I'm asleep at that time. Do you understand? So during all that time, it's practically impossible for a normal human being who follows a normal professional or personal activity to hold out. Okay, so what's happening? Muslims, whether Sunnis or Shiites, have started to come out with fasting. So what do fasting say? They say among the Shiites, the Shiites in London, they say, do not fast beyond 7pm that means, they said, the Maghreb prayer remains exactly at the time it is so 9:30pm and some dust. But no one fasts after 7pm they passed that off as the fact that Ramadan arrived in Mecca. And what happens is that Mecca on the day of the summer solstice today ends the fast at 7:07pm so it's the longest day there. It ends at 7:00pm okay, today we can't. Since Islam is everywhere in the world, it's not possible to imagine that people fast until 11pm and we can actually go even further. There are even places where it's daylight 24 hours a day. So that's the Shiites, the Sunnis. The Sunnis have gone a little further than the Shiites. I'll take you the number 12,674. Okay, and this one is an official one. I'll give you the website. Uh, it's issued by the Ministry of Religious affairs in the United Arab Emirates. It dates from 2010. Right. So what do they say? They simply say, they tell people, you go to bed saying, tomorrow I'll do Ramadan, tomorrow I'll do Lent, tomorrow I'll fast. And they tell them, what do you do? You get up, you continue fasting until you can't do it anymore. At that point, everyone has their own health, their own physical capacity, or perhaps their own spiritual capacity. Because, you know, there's not only the physical part of the day, there's also the spiritual part. You can reach it, you can perhaps physically hold out even longer, but spiritually that's your limit. So at that point they tell them, well, you fast, you eat, and that's it. Right? So he gives a detailed explanation here and then he gives a summary. And then in summary they say ah. And they say ah. The moment you can no longer, okay, if you feel a difficulty and you can no longer assume the fast, well, you simply eat yourself. So of course there are people, there are people who will insult this kind of fatui or who will insult the people who, who follow this kind of fato. Ah, I'll let you be the judge, won't I'll let you be the judge of the spiritual level of those who have reached those who are a spiritual aristocracy, who manage to do Ramadan until 11pm and who feel from the height of their ultra evolved spirituality, who feel authorized to criticize or attack others. Huh? Okay, I'll let the people listening to us reflect on the minds of these people foreign because that normally someone who reaches a high spirituality, normally they have reached it after a very long personal and intimate journey and they have a lot of understanding, a lot of respect for people who are still having problems with spiritual practices that they have long since surpassed, okay? But there you have it. So as I was telling you, at the time when Ramadan was created, there was no world like the one we have today. There were no airplane pilots. There was none of that. And then, well, there you have it. I mean, regardless of airplane pilots, it's just not possible, you know, for many people. And I'll give you an example. You know, I'll tell you something. You know, the old people, the old people, the old artists, the old writers, philosophers, you know, they smoked opium, okay? He smoked opium. He smoked opium. Why? Because it allowed them at their level. They were already extremely profound, intelligent and creative people. And the fact of consuming opium allowed them to isolate themselves even more from the world and project themselves even further and restore their genius to us through that, okay? That's against an extreme practice followed by a minority who know what they're doing. Now, when you take opium and distribute it to an entire society, you end up with young people who have to prostitute themselves to pay for their dose. Do you understand? There. There's no creativity, no, no restitution of genius, Nothing at all. Do you understand what I mean? The more difficult and extreme a practice is, the more it is reserved. In a normal world, it's reserved or it's accessible. Not even reserved. It's accessible to a minority, okay? And what happens is that Muslim society falls on its face by wanting to adopt such practices, okay, like Ramadan, and wanting to forcefully apply it to the whole of society and often including children, including pregnant women, including the elderly, including diabetics, including everyone, okay? There you go. Finally, the day he does something right, uh, you tell me, huh? You send me a message.
